34. Can You Trust Your Magnets? What Hinduism and Postmodernism Have in Common--Saudamini Tambay (Part 2)


Listen Later

Can You Trust Your Magnets? Saudamini Tambay is back to talk about how religion can often impact our closest relationships. She opens up about her mom's history with Muslims growing up in Northern India and the bad blood that can create life-long notions of the "other." She is not alone in this, and Saudamini and Scott unpack how best to bring humanity back to those stereotypes. 

Other Topics Discussed:

-Saudamini's thought on the pressure Christians put on God, as opposed to taking responsibility for your own moral choices, and how Saudamini looks to her therapist, friends, and yoga for sense of grounded-ness not a god.

-The magnet style of finding truth. Scott's thought on the danger of building your sense of self and truth from multiple sources (or magnets in this case) and how Christianity isn't just a narrative worth following. It's a relationship. Akin to Scott's relationship with his wife.

Questions for the Community:

  • Who is in your circle of magnets? How do you know that they trustworthy?
  • If religion is the willingness to surrender to something greater than you, what do you surrender to?
  • How would you counter a post modern view of truth claims?
